Abstract

A compact imaging lens with high-resolution, low profile, low F-value, and wide field of view, properly corrects various aberrations and comprises a first lens having positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the object side, a second lens having a meniscus shape with negative refractive power and a concave surface facing the image side, a third lens having positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the object side, a fourth lens having a meniscus shape with positive refractive power and a convex surface facing the image side, and a fifth lens having negative refractive power and a concave surface facing the image side as a double-sided aspheric lens. A pole point at an off-axial point is provided on the image-side surface, and 40<|r6/f|<90 where f: the focal length of the overall optical system and r6: curvature radius of the image-side surface of the third lens.

Claims (46)
